The Philippines needs to apply the General Blackjack Pershing treatment.
Worked then, it will work now.

Phillipino troops tried to fend off ISIS who took over large parts of a city Marawi.. capturing Christians, seizing and torching buildings and setting free scores of prisoners.... reports they may have beheaded a police chief...... militants were using Christians and a priest as human shields until they withdraw troops....
People fleeing Marawi in thousands to escape Isis in the Phillipines....area is the size of S. Korea with population of 22 million....

It’s a great story but Pershing probably never did it, though others may have. There’s no contemporary accounts of him doing it, and he was much more inclined towards fighting only when attacked and persuading the Moros to surrender instead of killing them. There are no accounts of his ever executing prisoners either.
“Yet another account, from the 1938 book Jungle Patrol, attributed the deed to someone other than Pershing:
“It was Colonel Alexander Rodgers of the 6th Cavalry who accomplished by taking advantage of religious prejudice what the bayonets and Krags had been unable to accomplish. Rodgers inaugurated a system of burying all dead juramentados in a common grave with the carcasses of slaughtered pigs. The Mohammedan religion forbids contact with pork; and this relatively simple device resulted in the withdrawal of juramentados to sections not containing a Rodgers. Other officers took up the principle, adding new refinements to make it additionally unattractive to the Moros. In some sections the Moro juramentado was beheaded after death and the head sewn inside the carcass of a pig. And so the rite of running juramentado, at least semi-religious in character, ceased to be in Sulu. The last cases of this religious mania occurred in the early decades of the century. The juramentados were replaced by the amucks
who were simply homicidal maniacs with no religious significance attaching to their acts.”
